What time is it at the north pole?

Question

I actualy know the answer but I just wanted to pickle peoples brains. I'll give you a clue, it's a nonesense question.

Answer 1

Well, you sure pickled mine.  I would say maybe it is noon all the time in summer and midnight all the time in winter.  After all, our measurement of time is an artificial concept anyway.  Your added statement seems to indicate that has no time and that would make sense since it is in no time zone or all time zones.

Answer 2

I would assume that they just go by GMT

Answer 3

if you ran backwards around the pole that would mean you could  travel backwards in time

Answer 4

What time is it at the North and South Pole?

Since lines of longitude converge at the North and South Pole, it's almost impossible (and very impractical) to determine which time zone you're in based on the longitude.

Therefore, researchers in the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the earth usually use the time zone associated with their research stations. For example, since nearly all flights to Antarctica and the South Pole are from New Zealand, New Zealand time is the most commonly used time zone in Antarctica.

So basicly North pole doesn't have a time zone because all points connect there.

Answer 5

They use Zulu time, which is the same as brittain's winter time zone - (GMT) but zulu doesnt change for the summer daylight savings

It also goes by the name UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)

Answer 6

2:16 PM, Friday - Time in North Pole, Alaska
